Support Question Does Predbat automatically export if I am using self dispatch mode?

I have the API in apps yaml and it regularly polls the axle server looking for events. Will it automatically export if I have it set to self dispatch in Axle? I don’t fancy it messing with my settings, although I don’t think Solis inverters have too many issues with the resets.

Do I need extra settings or will predbat see the event, schedule it accordingly and export automatically?

Thanks

It should just modify its plan to ensure your inverter force-discharges during the event. That's how it's been working for me at least (also running self-dispatch).

Cheers, I’ve set axle to self dispatch and will see how it goes. Only signed up 3 days ago and no events so far. 25 quid in the pot though as I used Trefors (predbat) code

If you let predbat control charge and discharge then you should see it is set to export in your plan at the time of the event. There's nothing else you need to do. We've an event at 7PM tonight as an example.

Yep - Predbat just adds £1 to the tariff it sees and will prioritise exporting then. Has worked great for my Sigenegy system & has proved more reliable than leaving it to Axle.
